"Director Li, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Come, sit down and talk." Director Li called out and stood up and sat on the sofa opposite.
"The thing is, the workers in one of our brother companies have been in a bad mood recently, and they know that our factory has some supplies, so they want to make some adjustments with us. Can you talk to them and get some meat over?"
Li Qinghe narrowed his eyes. This was not a good sign.
He said in embarrassment: "Director Li, you know that there is a shortage of supplies everywhere. It is very difficult to transport things here. I said a lot of good things to you before you agreed to give us priority supply. That's it. I haven't repaid you yet. Now you want to increase the supply, and I can't do it."
Human hearts are inherently greedy, or in other words, desires are insatiable.
Li Qinghe has already supplied a lot of supplies to the factory. In this year, which factory can eat meat every other day?
It's good enough to be able to use some lard to cook and add some oil and water. Being able to eat a few slices of meat a month is enough to make people happy. The workers in those factories basically have pale faces. There are no workers in the steel mill who have rosy complexions.
Now, they want to increase the supply.
If you agree this time, there will be a next time, and the next time, and it will go on endlessly. If the risk is too great, you might end up getting yourself into trouble.
It is also a sister unit and we have a good relationship.
Now all factories are public, and they are brother units to all of them. As long as there are supplies, we can have good relations with anyone.
Now that the space has been upgraded, another seven or eight acres of land have been added. Not to mention increasing it a little more, the space is overflowing with supplies now. Even if it were to triple, there would be no pressure at all. However, this kind of thing cannot be agreed to.
Supplying these now is already risky. If they spread everywhere, something bad will happen sooner or later.
At that time, Director Li would be the first to push him out. He would risk his own life and let Director Li take the gift to pretend to be a good person and build relationships. He was not that stupid.
"I know all this, but there's really nothing we can do about it." Director Li looked helpless.
"The person who called me is an old friend of mine. He helped me a lot before. The favor was too great. He never asked me for help before, but this time he finally asked me for help. I couldn't refuse him.
"Qinghe, please help me and see if you can get some. If there are any difficulties, I will definitely not refuse to help you if I can."
Director Li knew that the supply of materials was difficult. Li Qinghe was able to get these and keep the supply going. He must have done a favor for himself. If he really had no other choice, he wouldn't have asked for this.
This time he really didn't lie. He did have such a friend. When he was the deputy factory director, he took good care of him and withstood the pressure from Director Yang several times. He also helped him to get a lot of connections with the general manager. He also made a lot of efforts to squeeze Director Yang out this time.
Now that people have come to him for help, if he doesn't help, how will he face them in the future? Besides, if the news gets out, how will he live his life?
When people hear this, they think, oh, the person who helped you finally asked for help, but now you don’t even want to help me. This person is not worth getting along with.
How can he move up then? Can he keep the position of factory director?
So, he was at his wit's end and had to go find Li Qinghe to see if he could think of a solution.
"this......"
Li Qinghe looked conflicted and didn't speak for a long time.
Director Li waited quietly and helped make a cup of tea. He knew that this was not an easy task.
If it were easy, he would just sell his face himself, why would he ask Li Qinghe for help?
"Director Li, the factory receives a lot of supplies every month. Can't we distribute some of them?"
Director Li shook his head and sighed, "It's not that easy. The destination of the materials each month has been fixed. It seems like a lot, but after it is distributed, how much is left?"
In order to get to the top, he promised a lot of things to others, and he had already distributed everything that could be distributed.
Who would have thought that something like this would happen suddenly.
"Then our factory..."
"That can't be moved." Director Li knew what Li Qinghe meant and interrupted without hesitation, "You can also feel that the situation is getting more and more tense. I am the director, and the key is to stabilize the factory. If the supply of workers is suddenly reduced, I am afraid that something will happen. If the distribution is too small, it will be a drop in the bucket and will be of no use."
It's not like he hadn't thought about this question before, but he quickly rejected it.
Even though he is the factory director and looks very impressive, after all, this is the era of the workers and they are the masters.
For such a long time, there has been a stable supply of meat and fine grains. When Director Yang was in office, everything was fine. So it seems that you, Director Li, have just taken office and you have started to deduct money from the workers?
What's going on? Did you get greedy?
There is no doubt that if he dared to do this and the workers made trouble, he would be doomed. He couldn't just sacrifice himself for others, right?
When the superiors see you, they realize that you can’t even manage a factory, so what use are you?
He shuddered at the thought of the consequence. He absolutely could not cut the factory's supply.
He had worked so hard to climb up, and his butt wasn't even warm yet, so how could he go down?
In a nutshell, he can only hold his position securely with the support of the workers. When the workers no longer support him, he will be laid off.
The risk is totally disproportionate to the reward.
"Shh~ This is difficult. The quantity over there is also limited. If there are more here, there will be less over there. I went over there to sell my face, and they agreed to give us priority supply. They have already reduced the supply from other places. If they reduce it again, I will not be able to explain it."
Director Li quickly said, "I understand this. I can pay an extra dollar per kilogram to buy it. I can buy 30,000 kilograms."
